Question

export to bitmap

Hi
I did not find any export function. I found "printAsBitmap", which is great to print the whole _root movieclip. But what I want to do is to let the user copy the current display (as an image, a pdf, an emf ..) on hard drive or on clipboard, so he can put it in a word document, modify it on photoshop etc.
How can I do ?
Thanks

Flash isn't able to do this. A way to achieve it (since Flash 8) is using a server that gets the pixel information of the display and creates a picture, which the user may download. Here's a tutorial on that approach: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/print_screen/.
Maybe there is also some 3rd party software that does this on the user's computer, but I don't know about this. This question comes up quite often, so maybe a forum search will get you more info.

greets,

Thanks a lot for your valuable information, I'll try that.
